Library offers
many services
Starting Saturday, July 18,
the Newberry-Saluda Regional
Library will begin a weekly
story hour for children from
ages 5 to 12. At 10 a.m. to
10:30, a story session will be
held for children from ages 5 to
8. From 11 to 11:30 a.m., a
story will be told to children
from ages 9 to 12. Parents are
urged to bring and pick their
children up on time.
Telling and reading these
stories to the children will be
various talented Newberrians.
Anyone who would like to vol
unteer for a Saturday story ses
sion is asked to contact the lib
rarian, Miss Verna Kohn.
In talking to Miss Kohn, she
said, “I wonder if our people
are aware of all the services
the library offers? For instance,
I suspect that not many know
that on Tuesday evening, the
library is open until 9 p.m. I
suppose everyone is familiar
with our hours: 9 to 6 daily,
9 to 4 Saturday.
“Also, the public might like
to know that we take 103 maga
zines, just about every topic
one can imagine: from anti
ques, hobbies, mechanics, wild
life, history—in other words,
name it, we’ve got it.
“Another service that may
not be familiar to everyone is
the State Library Loan system.
Almost any non-fiction book
which our library doesn’t have
can be had from the Columbia
library in a matter of two or
three days. All you have to do
is make a request, either by
phone or in person to us.
‘This may interest the teen
agers,” Miss Kohn said. “We
have some rather neat records,
including The Jefferson Air
planes, Hank Williams, Eddie
Arnold, Mancini, Nero—just to
name a few. We’re always avail
able to answer any telephone
reference questions. We circul
ate back issues of all maga
zines. And we’d love any dona
tions of books, records and pap
erbacks.”
